Greetings,
With the release version of vSphere 6.5, VMware Update Manager (VUM) now comes embedded within vCenter Appliance (VCSA) 6.5. VUM can then be used to upload patches to its repository, create baselines, scan hosts for updates and remediate whenever possible.
However, You may come into a scenario where you don’t have vCenter deployed in your infrastructure or the update manager is not working and at the same time you need to update your hosts. CLI can come into rescue in such situations…

vmware -vl 
Hope this post is helpful,
